Grade: Junior / Intermediate

Facility: Gymnasium

Materials:

  • 1 ball per game ( e.g., beach, foam, paper, waffle, gator)
  • 1 soft bouncy ball
  • Tape or rope to section off squares

Activity Description:

The goal of the game is to be in the number one square. In order to do this, you must knock out the opponents who are in the higher spaces.

Overview:

  • Divide students into groups of 4.
  • Each player is designated his/her own square. This can be decided by drawing numbers 1 to 4.
  • The player who draws the number 1 is in top position and the player who draws the number 2 is in second position and so on.
  • The goal of the game is to be in the number 1 space. In order to do this, you must knock out the opponents who are in higher spaces.
  • The player in the top space position begins the game by serving the ball (the hot sun) into any other square using an underhand open palmed serve.
  • The players square that the hot sun lands in must then return the hot sun to any other players square without letting the ball bounce more than once in his/her own square.
  • If the hot sun is not returned after being hit into your area of space then you are knocked out.
  • If you are in the 1st position and get knocked out you move to the 4th position and everybody moves up in spaces.
